Are Jesus and God one entity?
Just as the Father and Son are one, so are my wife and I. We are one flesh, they are one Spirit. Although my wife and I are one flesh, we are two separate entities. The Father and Son are one, but they are two separate entities.
If God answered the prayer of Jesus, all disciples of Christ are one with the Father and Son, just as the two of them are one. So from the Father to the least in the kingdom of God, we are all one, but different entities, or different parts, if you will.
So it remains, “But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ,” 1 Corinthians 11:3.
And, for HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. And when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, that God may be all in all, 1 Corinthians 15:27-28.
… it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. God the Father was an exception to all things subjected to Jesus. He cannot be subjected to anyone. He is God.
So Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that you are very religious in all respects. For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and everything that is in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made by hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might feel around for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His descendants.’
Therefore, since we are the descendants of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by human skill and thought. So having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now proclaiming to mankind that all people everywhere are to repent, because He has set a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all people by raising Him from the dead..”
Once again, Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ, 1 Corinthians 11:3.
